General Plan

I'm going to test my experiment in my basement with a treadmill to control the speed and incline. I will be measuring heart rate without music and with music and seeing does different type of music effect your heart rate. Some problems would be power going out, another would be them drinking caffeine or having anything in there system that makes your heart beat faster i would fix both of them by waiting the next day. The only concern would be that is falling while on the treadmill.

Potential Problems And Solutions

Safety Or Environmental Concerns

The only safety concern is that i have would be if you fall while running on the treadmill.

Experimental Design

What is your experimental unit?
My experimental unit is heart rate.

Number Of Trials:

Two trials of each test.

Number Of Subjects In Each trial:

Four subjects in each trial.

Number of Observations:

Two

When data will be collected

February 17th.

Where will data be collected?:

In my basement.

Conclusion

The Hardcore music was the one that made the heart rate go up the most while running witch was not what i hypothesized rap strength training music was the second one and classical was the last one besides no music. Therefor my prediction was wrong but however music still affects the actual heart rate in general, it also does effect the heart while being active weather its running or whatever sport or activity you're doing.

Background Research

Listening to music elevates one's mood. It also energizes a person, which is evident from the spike in the energy levels observed as a result of listening to music. Music influences one's mood and different kinds of music trigger different kinds of moods in people. The brain is effected by the rhythm of music the brain subconsciously fallows the beat, it becomes a neurological pulse where it affects the medulla oblongata witch controls
the heart rate.
